<p>my “pilipino” as his mother says, is actually like 75% white bc his mom (the filipino side) is actually about half white (her dad was spanish) i guess although she really doesn’t like white at all. she’s very pretty most white people, even my white bread family, think so. i have been to so many filipino parties and the people are so nice, they’re all middle aged people in a religious/cultural society dedicated to Mary, so i guess they should be nice lol, but i think they have nicer thoughts about me than a white people in general would have about a non-white significant other.
i k fils are austronesian- southern china-derived farmers who crossed the ocean and gained control of the pacific islands from darker, curly haired negrito indigenous people.<br>
a lot of people think he’s hispanic and many just think he’s "chinese’ meaning asian. in case you can’t tell, i love to talk about this kid.<br>
also, the feeling i’ve always gotten with him is that he’s not really a separate person from me. the fact our skin is very different in color- he’s brown, i’m pretty fair, and we don’t look alike in general doesn’t detract from that at all. every now and then he’ll notice how lite i am in comparison to him and i’ll think of it but really there is no “color line” at least for me.
i don’t think we really count as an “interaccial couple” in comparison to couples that are black and white, even if it’s a 75% of the same thing as the other person as is my situation. i’m so glad all i have to put up with is awkward stares and distasteful jokes.</p>
